Which of the following best describes static data in MST?

• A. Data that remains fixed and defines structure such as facility, procedures, and forms
• B. Data that changes with every user action
• C. Data that is moved by Data Courier
• D. Data only used in training

Answer: (A)

Static data is information that stays fixed during a scenario and sets up the environment's structure. It defines the unchanging elements like facility layouts, standard procedures, and the forms or templates used in the exercise. Because this data remains constant, MST can load and reuse it across sessions, giving a reliable, reproducible backdrop for training. In contrast, dynamic data changes as actions are taken—things like task progress, patient status, or inventory levels—reflecting the evolving state of the exercise. The description that best matches the concept is data that remains fixed and defines structure such as facility, procedures, and forms.
